THIS is why you don't need a BIG BOAT.. Mahi Fishing in the Florida Keys

Fishermen Dream of the days of Glass Calm Crystal Clear water in the Florida Keys while fishing for Dolphin! Other wise know as a Mahi Mahi or Dorado, Dolphin are amongst some of the most sought after game fish while Deep sea fishing in the Florida Keys. Not only are they beautiful, they fight great and taste delicious, which equates to the most Epic Fishing Videos in a bay boat! There are a lot of different methods to catch Mahi Mahi, but we spend the morning throwing the cast net for pilchards to add live bait to our arsenal. Once we acquire bait we head to the Islamorada Hump to do some live chumming, which deems to be productive! After that we do some running and gunning, trolling, and share different tips and techniques based on how to catch dolphin fish. Once we tire out we run the boat from the deep sea in towards the shallow reefs to do some scenic snorkeling. Thereafter we head to the dock to clean up the fish to enjoy a delicious Mahi Mahi fish recipe!

What's happening with your merch ma man still can't seem to get anything online

[@LifeByTheBow]

Hey Mohammed, thanks for asking! Unfortunately we are still on a backorder dude to Covid. We should be back up and running in the next couple week!

[@AZGOLF]

@@LifeByTheBow i'm looking into getting an offshore boat but i run out of VA. Norfolk canyon is my main fishing grounds and everyone tells me i need to get a viking 56 or bigger. i really love the contender you have and was wondering would you run that boat offshore here in VA. this might be a dumb question but i love this channel and respect any and all of your input.

[@Fj4LiFe23]

@@AZGOLF the contender would have absolutely no problem running the canyon. you absolutely don't "need" a 56+ but of course the level of comfort grows as it gets bigger so if you have the resources i don't think you'll regret going bigger.

[@AZGOLF]

@@Fj4LiFe23 i went with a contender due to how fast it can get me there and back. i blow by the bigger offshore boats on the way out and in. finding the grass line is pretty easy from the tower it has.

[@doc2936]

​@@AZGOLFabsolutely not!!!! Chesapeake Bay gets swells of 13 feet. Weather timing you can take a gheenoe. Get a Chesapeake dead rise for that area with a diesel.

Your drone shots of the patch reefs are so gorgeous. It demonstrates the clarity of Keys water to the max. Really takes me back. Thanks.

[@85296jwd]

I love the show. I’m recovering from some surgery and the show has brought many smiles to my face. You two are real, well spoken and seem to be really nice people. Plus, you’ve taught me so much. Recipes too! I would like to see a bit more on how you maintain your boat and more videos on the equipment. I liked the video on the Power Poles. Keep up the great work. You’ve got me hooked!

[@morganhowland6]

My fiancé and I have been watching y’all’s channel for about 6 months now and we love it! Your wife is beautiful and gives me confidence. We love hearing all the fishing tips and tricks and just watching the beautiful videos! God bless!

[@Terrenitup01]

Bruh, your b-roll is STUPID amazing. Very professionally done and the music brings just the perfect vibes. Haven’t seen content this well done in a long time.

The scene underwater of the prop and boat taking off then fading into an overhead shot was very creative. As with all of your videos, I really enjoyed watching it!

Every second of this video was great! The cinematography, as many have mentioned, is so spot on! I look forward to each new video! I can't always go fishing, but we have a local fishmonger where I can grab some fresh, locally caught fish, and I can't wait to try this recipe on some delicious Mahi! Thank you, Stephanie, for sharing the recipes! I've said it before but, there's nothing better than the catch/clean/cook videos! Please keep up the excellent work! Thank you! I look forward to your channel exploding! Anyone who loves fishing, being on the water, eating fresh fish, and enjoying life should be subscribed to your channel!

[@austinfoley7894]

Hey guys, the new video was great. Unfortunately, I didn’t see your response about meeting up last week until later on, so we’ll have to plan something for the future. Glad to see you got on some Mahi and I like how you have some of the underwater footage incorporated into this video. Keep up the good work!

[@petealtman5621]

amazing as always Clay

[@keyspetnanny354]

Clay is killing it! Angler and gaffing his own fish. 🔥 love the channel! I have lived in the Keys my entire life, but somehow your videos still have me awe of how beautiful it is down here! So many of the Avail Gear shirts are sold out. Anxiously waiting for a restock!!

[@markm391]

You guys do an excellent job of capturing the true beauty of the Keys. Spots you normally wouldn't see visiting on vacation. The production and drone footage is top notch. Sharing your life, great fishing excursions and cooking top it off. This show takes me out of reality and puts me in the Keys. Thank you for sharing!

It’s just so beautiful. Love watching you two at the end when Stephanie cooks and you both sit down to eat. I enjoy every part of your video. Thanks for bringing a part of your life to us to view.

[@mitchelleinwechter6340]

It has been amazing watching this channel grow over the past year or so! When I would go down to the keys a couple years back, we had a great boat, however, with being at the pool so much, I did a lot of pier fishing (Key Colony Beach, Marathon). I know it may not be near as much fun but could you guys do a video on it (kayak fishing, paddleboard fishing, etc.)? Hoping that the border opens soon so we can come back down ASAP. Keep up the great work with KZbin and your businesses!

Thanks for the kind words Erik! Appreciate you watching

[@Rawillll]

Came across your channel just yesterday, my wife and I (mainly me 😂) can not stop watching your videos and we don’t even fish! Lol We’re from Miami but we’re on our honeymoon in Panama City beach and saw for the first time some folks catching fish back to back from a pier and were so amazed. We’ve been talking about how cool it is to live a self-sustainable life where you catch and cook your own meals, it’s just the way to go. I’d love to see a video breaking down some basics or maybe just price breakdowns if you don’t already have videos like that. I love the offshore small boat you got. I don’t even own a rod but watching you and your wife’s lifestyle is really motivating.
